DS2 had a lot of level design failures.
Deal with it or go and play Miyazaki's games.

>>387533529
It's fine.

>>387533793
Yeah "it's fine" the developers can't even hide where the textures converg each other.
DS2 was the best Soul in terms of content/boses/weapons/character creation but the worst in level design/details.

>>387533529
A-Aloy???

Stuff like this was DS2's biggest fault, a lot of the scenery design was just kind of lazy

Scholar is still my favorite Souls title, but I'll admit its flaws before anyone else

>>387533987
>bosses
Sure. Everyone remembers the generic knights.

>>387534289
Generic Knight N°564651 was the best boss ever.

>>387534596
DS2 had the bigger number of bosses and the most variety of weapons.
So, what's your point?

Why does everyone say the ds2 dlcs are great? They're shit and worse than the main game.

>>387535608
Seems like only games from 2006 or earlier can have fans who admit flaws within them. I'm not sure why people act like having any criticism of a game is a personal attack that seeks to destroy anything good.

>>387534714
Most memorable and interesting locations, best build/equipment variety, best PvP, best covenants, hardest in the series, tons of secrets, best characters, Majula, best DLC

It's all pretty subjective I guess but I've played all 3 to hell and back and Scholar was my favorite with the most hours in it. 1 hasn't aged very well and 3 is easy, repetitive, and uninspired.

>>387535468
All of its attacks except the "fly high and breathe fire" could be dodged by simply walking, not running, away. The idea of fighting a big dragon is cool but the fight itself was slow as fuck and not really fun.

>>387535094
Fume Knight, Alonne and Ivory King were the only good things about the DLCs.

DaS2 has way more GOOD bosses than DaS. DaS has Gwyn and Memetorias le Cringewalker, I can throw Kalameet in there out of pity.
DaS2 has Alonne, Fume, Ivory, Chariot, Mirror Knight, Sinh, Pursuer, duke's dear freja, Velstadt, Darklurker, Frog of Songs, Ruin Sentinels

Explain to me what the Deep and the Profaned Flame are. It's literally just drivel to sound deep, when, in actuality, it's all bullshit.

The bosses in 2 suck shit. Even the vaguely interesting ones are let down by all having the same generic predictable moveset.

>>387537638
I don't give a fuck about story, DS3 has the best gameplay and level design outside of bloodborne and even better bosses than BB

>>387535805
>le memes lmao
They were the best content From had made up until Bloodborne. Level design wise they were on par or better than the best areas of DaS, like undead burg or Ariamis. And it was painfully obvious that unlike for the main game, Tanimura had all the time to design them from the ground. Tanimura is a god.

>>387537697
We're not talking about gameplay; we're talking about the backstory
It's implied that Aldia was toying with you anyway; you get no souls from defeating him and he bails out. He's never actually dead; one of the few characters in the Souls universe
>>387537727
Bloodborne has the best level design and bosses in the entire series

As you can see kids, when cornered, the average DS3 drone will say "I don't give a fuck about if it makes any sense" or "look at how good this cherrypicked bossfight is"

>>387537431
Ds3 isn't great either.

>>387538003
It's true.
Best Souls games are DS1 and BB.
DS2 is better than DS3, though.

Oh, it's about lore now.
You know how much das2 lore matters? Nothing. Jump from 1 to 3 and you lose nothing lorewise.

>>387538461
You're cherry picking hard my guy.
Tons of DS2 knights have ranged attacks. By your logic, they don't count as knights, since you're not counting Twin Princes, Nameless, and Soul.
Iudex and Champion are the same fight. They count as two.
Dancer counts as one.
Vordt doesn't. Fights too much like a grounded beast enemy, unlike Dancer.
Abyss Watcher is, by definition, a dude in armor, so it counts. Don't justify it with mechanics.

>>387538434
You started talking about lore the minute, in your first post, you literally said "more lore significance than any big guy boss from DS2"

>>387538631
Are you really going to call Nameless King a generic dude in armor?

>>387538714
The anonimity in this website is confusing you. Maybe you should go back to where you belong. They'll share your opinions about this turd and even upvote you.

>>387538728
He is a generic dude in armor.
It's okay when blessed Miyazaki does it, right?

>>387538728
I wouldn't say his moveset isn't generic but he's a dude in armor in the 2nd half.
So the question is at what point is a boss in the "generic knight" category? What makes a boss generic?
>>387538461 if you wanted to go harsh you could say that abyss watchers, Pontiff, Dancer, Nameless and Soul of Cinder are also all knights. But I'd say that everyone of them has something interesting. I wouldn't say that every knight boss of DaS 2 is this interesting/ good.

>>387538880
reddit is the place to go for DS3 circlejerks. I don't belong anywhere, apparently.

>>387538939
You're right. Nameless King is just as boring and lifeless as Dragonrider. Grasping concepts beyond the surface level is hard for my poor DS2tard brain <_<

>>387539587
Nameless is literally pandering to a single item description from DS1. There's nothing remotely interesting about him. He is filler to the nth degree.

I don't think he's a bad fight. The second half is pretty fun. First half is trash with horrible camera, but whatever. The point is that the backstory of the fight is extremely generic and he is the definition of filler. The Son of Gwyn would've been much more enjoyable if it was left a mystery.

>>387539865
>There's nothing remotely interesting about the son of Gwyn
Ok.

I feel like I'm the only person on /v/ that can enjoy each Souls game from Demon's Souls to Bloodborne.

>>387540012
I didn't say that; or, at least, I didn't intend for it to sound like that. The Son of Gwyn is an interesting plotline. Having him be this "literal who" Nameless King guy is an uninteresting and boring conclusion with no meaningful payoff. I would've found it much more enjoyable if it was left a mystery.

I never said the Son of Gwyn was uninteresting; just the fact that he ended up being the Nameless King.

>>387540189
I enjoy them too but I also like to shitpost.

>>387537431
they all have unique movesets though, like the dragonslayer armor fight is completely different to champ gundyr, even if they're both just "dudes in armor".
hell, dudes in armor are always the best boss fights in souls games, it's just that in das2 they weren't really varied enough

>>387540189
I like every single Souls game. I've put 100 hours minimum in each one, and 1,000 hours maximum in DS1. However, I still find a lot of things to complain about; especially with DS3.

>>387534714
Yeah dude, its practically Ride to Hell xD

>>387540265
He's not a literal who though. He's the only guy besides Gwyn whose arc is given a conclusion.
So to me it's the opposite. It's so rare in this game we get a whole arc that i was glad to know about the Nameless King.

I loved DS2 and I didn't even have the desire to play 3. These games are stale as fuck and I'm glad they're killing off the series for a bit.

>>387540708
That's fair. I don't know man, something about nameless just doesn't sit right with me. I just wish there was more to it than just an optional side area. At least give him a name.

>>387540189
I feel like I'm the only person on /v/ that hates 1 but likes 3

>>387540847
His name was purged from all records when Gwyn disowned him, it seems fitting.

>>387540931
But why wouldn't it be listed somewhere in the Dragon Peek or whatever it's called if that's where he's taken up residence? Hell, why couldn't he have been an NPC? I'd imagine he would've had some interesting things to say.

>>387540847
>>387541014
In these games context, we get more about nameless than a lot of other characters. We learn why he was banned, what happened to his knights, where he went, who he is. That's a lot for Dark Souls.

>>387541104
True.
No Souls game has ever managed to wrap everything up in a 100% satisfactory way except for Bloodborne; at least in my opinion. DS1 did as well, but too many closed doors were open in the sequels that I can't look at it the same way anymore.

>>387534289
There was also that scorpion chick...I forget her name...she was like a boring Quelaag.

Shit I love Dark Souls but the /v/ fanbase really are the worst gaming community of all. You kids are pathetic
